c11.s2.t1.3

From above the brick construction of the remaining part of the fort is exclusively of clay. In the opposite section, so far as the lower part of the fort is concerned, it is similar to the above description, but here a deliberate attempt of the construction of two vertical parallel walls in the core enclosing the width of 10 m is visible. On the exterior side of the two walls there is a slopy brick construction acting as buttress to the wall and is in line with the tapering slope of the opposite part. On the exterior side of the fortwall is a moat.
